Re: {Spam?} Re: Embedding CSS style sheets in XML documents

Hi,

I would like to add that implementing this has the technical
consequence that either a document must be scanned more than
once, because the style sheet may very well be at the end of
it. This depends on the XML vocabulary.

It therefore goes a bit against a web-architecture rule that
says that the UA should start displaying content as soon as
possible and not wait until the entire document is fetched.

Werner.
